2013 -- Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC
Entertainment announce the North American launch of

Scribblenauts Unmasked features a story where protagonist
Maxwell embarks on an imaginative and comical quest through

from the DC Comics Universe. In the game, Maxwell comes to the

JOKER™, LEX LUTHOR™ and SINESTRO™. Fueled by the players
imagination where anything he/she writes comes to life, Maxwell
must use his magic notebook to summon heroes or tools that will
put a stop to the villains' evil schemes and save the DC Comics
universe!
Players in need of some super hero help or who just want to
learn more about the vast DC Comics universe itself, can
reference a brand new feature exclusive to Scribblenauts
Unmasked. The Batcomputer! The Batcomputer is an in-game
encyclopedia that visually displays the names and descriptions
of every DC Comics character and that can be used in the game.
It also links these characters and objects together in the form
of a detailed wiki that can be used to learn about and utilize
some of the most interesting and obscure characters in the DC
Comics universe!
The Batcomputer in Scribblenauts Unmasked is one of the most
comprehensive resource for DC Comics knowledge ever created in a
retail product, said Samantha Ryan, Senior Vice President,
Production and Development, Warner Bros. Interactive
Entertainment. Players looking for the perfect object to summon
will have fun finding familiar characters or discovering lesser
known ones to enhance their gameplay experience.
A new Hero Creator tool available on Wii U and PC elevates the
games creativity by giving players the ability to produce their
own Super Heroes or Super-Villains out of anything they can
think of in the game. This could mean making a something like a
potato, lobster or guitar into your very own customizable Super
Hero; or, taking your favorite Super Hero and crossing his/her
look and powers with others in the DC Comics universe to create
the ultimate combination. Players can then share their creations
online with friends and family.
Scribblenauts Unmaskeds Hero Creator lets players bring out
their inner super hero or villain by crafting completely
original objects using any item from the DC Comics universe,
said Jeremiah Slaczka, C.E.O. and Creative Director of 5TH Cell.
They can assign unique properties to their creations and use
them to solve puzzles, or share them online with friends which
they can use in game or further modify as they like.
Expanding on the video game franchises innovation, Scribblenauts
Unmasked features for the first time dynamically created puzzles
called Heroic Feats that increase the games replayability by
continuously generating original scenarios requiring different
solutions with each visit. Every time a player goes to a world
in Scribblenauts Unmasked they will have a unique experience
that tests their creativity and wit in many different ways. They
can then use the rewards they earn by solving the Heroic Feats
to unlock new areas and avatars in the game and powers in the
Hero Creator.
